Deadlands is an RPG set in the old west with horror and steam punk elements. In Deadlands, history is not our own. The game is set right after the civil war ended in a draw... er uneasy truce.... well, they are still fighting actually. Feuding railroad barons race to reach the West coast, and strange unconfirmed reports from the West of encounters with unnamed abominations begin to filter into the more civilized areas.
